Looks awesome shane.

This actually sounds very interesting! Might take a closer look when I get home tonight. Seems like you have got a great range of stuff to talk about and some great content for an excellent price.

Just out of interest is this by the same chaps as portent? Format seems very familiar.

Shane is indeed the ex-Editor of Portal

Took a punt on it, anything that only costs a quid these days is good value!

Generally liked the format, what will keep me buying will be if you focus more on smaller niche companies (as you have in this issue) There were several minis and companies you featured I'd never seen or heard of before, and that will always interest me, as I always like to have different models in my armies to everyone else.

More focus on actual painting techniques, both traditional and airbrush would also be welcome. I have to say, some of the writing was a little dry, and something like an unboxing I'm not a fan of when the likes of BoW do as a video, I find it even less worthwhile as a static article. That said, the images are good, and when it comes to minis, the visual is the priority.

Good start though, and I will happily buy more issues as they come available.

yeah,
56 pages for £1 why not!
Turns out to be a fairly good community based magazine.

The layout is a little messy at times.
More than once I got a little confused as the text moving from the bottom of the page didn't match up with the text below it after the page break, the flow disrupted by a photo.
The puppet wars product description in the news weirdly urged me 'to click around this site' ... an obvious flaw in copy pasting content from the web.

The unboxing/review idea I think is good.
It lets us know what to expect from a company in this case 'Ax Faction' - It's basically 'check out what bought bro' which is cool.
I look forward to seeing more companies reviewed, Quality check ‘unboxing’; the great praised and the flaws exposed.
It's important that the items are bought by mystery shoppers or under pseudo names and that the report is balanced...

The Malifaux board series will be interesting.
The Introductions to Ana, Andrija and Marko seemed unnecessary, not sure we needed the history of the projects team!
While the projects actual content was thin on the ground...
But the scope of the project is impressive... I look forward to watching it grow.

There wasn't any figure painting tutorials in issue1... which I thought was weird.

Panic...

I've bought the magazine, and at first glance like the look of it

I'll disagree with Panic and say I liked the little bios of the Terrain building team, it helps to know where they're coming from

but I do agree him that you might want to look at the 'flow' of the text round the images (as I also found it tricky to 'join' the text between some of the page breaks)

I'll be buying issue 2 when that rolls round

Why can I not buy this without having to register? I'm just so very tired of registering for new sites. You should have a guest checkout since it's digital goods anyway.

I guess the reason is you can download the magazine 3 times, so they need to be able to ID you for the 2nd and 3rd shot

(but I'd be totally ok with only a single download and a guest checkout too)

i like the magazine, a good mix of content and the articles are decent length. My critique so far is that your layout needs to be refined. Good so far, but it is rough around the edges. That will bring you to a professional level (since your content is already good). Keep up with this and start developing an ipad app or get this in the ibooks store. Get it on android too! I would subscribe to it, easy. Thank you fro doing this.

I bought this yesterday and it was a very good little read!

The only thing that really dissapointed me was the poor resolution of the pictures. Other than a few pixels it was great!

I'll be in for issue 2 when it drops!

So far I like it. I think my biggest gripe would be the limited downloads of the purchased doc. They track my purchases on my account and so I don't understand a model that would limit my access to something I paid for. With the issues around portable device failures and stuff and getting new devices, a more open model to availability I think would have been better. Instead I now need to also backup these magazines on a personal cloud storage myself.

This would pretty much be my biggest issue as well. The three download limit seems consumer-unfriendly in light of the account requirement.

On the mag itself, I was pleased overall. The Rudyk (sp?) interview was a little light, but pretty much everything else was good.

Yeah, not that it's a huge cost-investment, but it's the principle - especially for an e-zine. If people wanted to "pirate" something like that, they'd just send one another a copy of the file.

For example, I have a work laptop that lives there, and at home a desktop, netbook, smartphone and my own personal laptop. It's feasable/possible that I'll also have a tablet at some stage in the near future. Since I have 90mins-2hrs worth of commute to work each day (depending on how well the connections connect) it's very much the sort of thing I'd download and read while sitting on a bus.

Liked on facebook! Will wait till a few more issues are out before I buy a little collection, but looks good!

Had a good read of this the other day and I'l just share some thoughts.

£1 per issue is great for an impulse buy and the reason I picked it up. For that value the contents is great.

I initally had difficulty openning the download file as it had a .bin file extension, however once I renamed it a .pdf it openned fine on my tablet.

Being able to download it 3 times is a bit odd. However I emailed it to myself so I have a personal backup in case I loose internet access or my tablet.

I liked the unboxings especially as id heard of neither company

I would really like to see some painting or sculpting tutorials if possible.

I will definitely download the next issue and see how it goes

Hi everyone, Guess what?




All for £1.00

bought

Edit: Now I've had a chance to look over it I can say 'Well Done!', it's much easier to follow the text between pages that it was in issue 1 (which was my major negative), the content looks great too

Bit the bullet and bought both issues. Haven't gone over them yet.

Side note, I made the Mailbox section!!!

Fair enough on keeping backups of purchases, though at this price point I'm not all too concerned over having to buy it again should I lose a copy.

Looks interesting from the previews above. Would really be interested in indy studios output and different genres - from the commenta here it seema that you have that, so i may "pick up" an issue soon

I'm having some problems downloading Issue 2. Anyone else having trouble?

I re-downloaded Issue 1 to make sure it wasn't me, and that came through fine. I tried multiple devices, browsers, and connection types. No love on Issue 2.

I have an e-mail in to FPM, but I was curious if it was just me having trouble.

~Eric

Issue 2 came down fine for me

When I downloaded them from the 'Downloads' page, both Issue 1 and 2 came through with no file type. They were just plain files.

So I right-clicked and went to rename, then added the .pdf extension. They both opened perfectly after that!

Hope that helps.

Thanks, but that doesn't fix it for me. The problem is that the file always finishes prematurely and is corrupted. It always stops at around 12MB when the file is around 19MB

Great looking mag so far, damn now they have put me onto Andrea miniatures. I can feel the cash burning away.

Anyone can share some thoughts on quality of content within?

Yeah, it's great, but then I would say that

I think the much smaller first issue was well worth the (tiny) price of £1

so the bigger (and better formatted) issue 2 is even better

A new French company, blockhaus82 (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blockhaus82/442132109188578?fref=ts), are releasing a new post-apocalyptic horror game called "Kolaps: Ground Zero" (K:GZ). K:GZ is a skirmish miniature game featuring warriors of the future fighting for the future survival of the Earth. As part of the game they have produced some exquisite miniatures, these are 40mm true-scale so no massive heads and hands, well almost, and 40mm is the future of gaming, trust me!

The concepts are original with the sculpts having been very nicely done with lots of fine detail. The miniatures themselves are in light grey polyurethane resin and are superbly cast, hardly a mould line in sight.

Blockhaus82 have produced ten miniatures to start the ball rolling and guess what, we have a full set to give away. That’s a prize worth €114 (close to £100). All you have to do is send your answers for the following questions to contest@figurepaintermagazine.co.uk

Question 1: What are the names of the three factions in Kolaps: Ground Zero?

Question 2: From FPM issue one, what was the surprise component used as a base for the Dark Carnival Diorama?

Question 3: What rank is Ivan Boronov?

Question 4: How many separate flesh tones does Barry Ford initially mix for painting Selena?

Please also include your full name and postal address. The contest ends at midnight (UK time) on 14th July 2013 when one winner will be chosen at random from those that answered the questions correctly. The winner will then be contacted via email and announced in the July issue of FPM.

"None metallic metal"?

Just downloaded both issues, #2 seems much better than #1. After a glance over, I would like to see more articles about painting; specific techniques, step-by-step tutorials, etc.

It seems like the content may evolve as more feedback is given so that's my contribution.

So far I have been happy with both issue #1 and issue #2. Surprisingly enough, some of us Dakkanites made issue #2 in the letters section. I saw my criticism posted and discussed. While I still think a limitation on digital product access is unnecessary, I understand limitations placed by software you never developed. Great job on communicating the issue though and the fact that you have increased our access up to 5 downloads.

Thanks again for making such a great product.

Any news on Issue 3? Really looking forward to it!

Bought both issues.

Any chance these will be available via iPad Magazine subscription?

Sorry no I can't see that happening. Apple want too much money and I want it to stay at £1 per issue.

Yeah,
You can always add apple cost onto the £1 and point that out in he description.

I think it's pretty important to keep it at £1 per issue. It is cheap enough for people not to bother pirating it, Why would you? It's only a measly quid and not worth the effort! Also by buying it, even though it's only a quid, gives it an intrinsic value not only to us but to the readers. When I used to do Portal we hardly ever got one feedback comments. Now, because people have paid for it they are more inclined to comment and we get useful feedback.

Same. Whenever I hear of a game in any scale other than 28mm, all I can think of is that fact that the unusual scale will hurt sales as the figures won't be compatible with other game systems...Not that there's anything wrong with 40mm. But the future of gaming? Gimme a break.

You and Azazelx are undoubtedly correct and I'll admit it was a shameless bit of marketing spin but that's my job. I got offered these miniatures and didn't know what to do with them at first so I ran this little comp and it's done a lot more than I first thought it would. I must also say that I didn't put any spin on the quality of the miniatures though, they are really good.

I'd love to see some more tutorials in the next few issues, mostly on either super hard techniques like OSS and NMM, or oddball techniques that are less known.

I do like the product reviews, and the showcase is quite nice. I also like that the product reviews and ads have hotlinks to the relevant sites.

Issue 3 is now out.

I'll be picking it up once I get home!

took a minor risk and bought issue 4 today - and I quite liked it. Saw some miniatures I hadn't seen before which was a nice surprise, and some of the interviews were interesting too. Bought it more for the tutorials, and there weren't many, but for a pound still worth it - worth it alone for the Greenskin tutorial to be honest, as there were some tips in there that I would never have figured out on my own.

Needless to say, much better and far more relevant than White Dwarf. Will be going back to buy issue 2 and 3 (is it correct that there were no tutorials in issue 1?).

Hey finnan, just checked my FPM 1 magazine. There's a tutorial there, but it's in a different style from the new ones. It's a step-by-step how Sean Fulton made his Gold winning Diorama base "Dark Carnival".

Spoilered image because it's big:


The other article called "tutorial" is the start of the Malifaux table.

Just got issue 4, you guys are definitely getting better! I personally would like to see some step by step painting guides but you are close to a good balance of content.

Keep up the good work!

it looks interesting once again, but this issue is pretty heavily weighted towards larger scale stuff than 28-35mm so those who only want to read about wargaming sized stuff may feel a little short changed there is something here for us, just not too much)

Not a problem for a single issue for me as it's understandable in a magazine covering such a broad topic(maybe a glut of releases, or just the submitted reviews have mostly been at larger scales),

but hopefully it will be a one off

Is there an index of the tutorials?
I had a look on the site, but couldn't find out what has been covered in the previous issues.
If I know whether an issue is going to have something I can use, I'd probably buy it, but unboxing and interviews aren't something I usually read.

Well, without wanting to sound rude, it is only a pound an issue so not like it's going to bankrupt anyone. Plus every issue is around 100 pages (almost) add free

not only unboxing and interviews in there

Yeah, I did think that. Nice website, etc, and I might have missed it.
I'll prob grab a random issue anyway.

The articles each month concerning tools and specialty items like weathering products are worth the $1.73 every single time. Also the issues are gradually increasing in size and page count which is quite nice. Issue 12 was quite nice.

I really like the tutorials too. I keep buying hobby stuff with all these dreams about paint schemes, dioramas, and tiny sculpture I plan to make in the future, but considering I don't have the space or time to do much with it, at least these magazines keep me dreaming.

Still, I'd rather buy one or two issues that are likely to be of most interest to me than take a shot in the dark. After all, if I really like the first couple I buy, I'll get them all. If I don't, then I'll probably never buy one again. So for that reason alone some kind of index is probably a useful thing. My unanswered question at the top of the page resulted in me not having bought any issues - and "just buy it anyway, tightarse" isn't really the same as an actual useful answer.

I'd try issue 6 - there's an interview with Kev White, I recall an in-depth look at a shockingly expensive 'Painting Buddha' set, and more. By that point the magazine had found more of a footing too:

Without you being a bit more specific about what you'd want, it's a hard question to answer. We have articles that cover all skill levels and scales in each issue. It doesn't really matter what type of miniature you paint or what scale; we all use the same tools and techniques so I'm pretty sure you'll find something of use and every issue (I'm not trying the hard sell, I honestly believe that).

By the way I love this feed back and I will take it on board. I'm not sure exactly how an index would work logistically, but I'll certainly put more details into the magazine descriptions in the future. Also FPM is coming up to is first Birthday, so when issue 13 is released I plan on bundling up the first 12 issues and selling them as a reduced rate.

Well, given that we're posting on what is generally a sci-fi/40k and fantasy-themed board, stuff generally along those lines. More specifically, I'm aware that many of your issues have a focus on kits of differing scales, busts, etc. While I'm completely aware that many/most techniques cross those boundaries, I prefer to start off with issues that have a higher proportion of 28mm models, and especially those i can relate to and have a connection with.

I mean, I also play some historicals, and I buy WGI on occasion, so I'm not exactly "40k or gtfo!" but "pick any one, they're all great." isn't the most useful, if you see my point.

I look for articles or how-tos on types of things.
Like, I am painting an Imperial Guard army, and need to know how to paint flesh and faces on 28mm heroic models. Anything around the same scale is good enough, and it's techniques and tricks I look for more than "here's how to paint Imperial Guard".
The same with cloth. Cloaks on my models are very basic, and look like a sheet of plastic thrown over the shoulders. Ways to blend, or get a cloth-like texture would be great.
Again for viewing ports or headlights

The trouble is that we can't tell from the cover how many articles there are in an issue, just the highlighted ones.
So, if there was an index, I would snap up any issue that listed articles that would help.

Ok, to try and explain how hard an index would be. Issue 12. We had 2 big tutorials (plus several other in other guises) The fist big tutorial was from WE7 (Sergey Chasnyk) who painted a space marine but it also explained a bit about NMM, Space Marine Armour, Painting chipped armour and Air brushing. The second big Tutorial was By Isaac Jaramillo Sama, who is painting Pegso's Vladd Dracul, but he showed how to paint horses, Raw Metallics and embroidered cloth patterns.

Like I said this isn't a hard sell but each issue does offer a lot more than one specific thing

As to the cover. I tend not to put too much text on it because I like to show off miniatures from the featured artist who's the focus of the insight interview.

If you guys are on facebook then check out the FPM page, it has loads of links tutorials that have been posted online. Also feel free to friend me personally, I'm always available to help with specific painting issues

Easy fix: Do you have a contents page for each issue? If so, put a copy of that on each issue's purchase page as a large-enough-to-read image. (larger then the current images). Voila! Problem solved!

I've been painting for more than 20 years. So I'm pretty comfortable with my ability. I'm no longer interested in competition-level painting, and I'm not really trying to learn any specifics, at the moment, either. Not to say I don't like learning new things, but whenever that happens, I can google any technique or effect and get a bunch of tutorials and youtube tutorials showing me how to do it.

I'd approach the tutorial elements of the magazine more like I do something like Finescale modeller. If something catches my eye or interest, I might try it.

Mostly, though. I'd be reading it as something to read that might inspire me.

^ That....

With a good one-line summary of the article, we can probably infer what is involved in the process.
It's usually enough to make a sale, or 12.

I'll give it a whirl for the next issue

ON SALE NOW: £1

This is our birthday issue and we have something pretty special to celebrate this – a superb insight interview with one of my all-time favourite sculptors and painters Alfonso Giraldes. That’s not all – Alfonso has also written us an amazing tutorial about how he painted the subject of our cover, the Abyssal Warlord for scale 75! Considering this is our birthday issue, we haven’t stopped there. Polish paint studio Awaken Realms have also written us a tutorial on how they painted their recent piece “Lord of Change”.

We also have all of our usual articles, including a great “What’s on the Market” and reviews of miniatures from Sergeant BlackArt, Draconia and Romain Van den Bogaert’s as well as Hangar 18 Miniatures photo backdrops and Minitaire Paints from Badger Air-Brush Co. where 2 people will also have the chance of winning a set of 12 paints.

Well, that £10 for 12 was enough to get my to buy the lot.
Will see what I can find to use in there, once I've ploughed through them all.

Let me know what you think, I'm always looking for ways to make the magazine better.

Just reading issue #13 now. I'm pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth the cheap £1 price. Some good stuff in it.

Just thought I'd give this thread a free bump to say thanks, as I entered the competition to win a set of Minitaire paints in a recent issue, and was lucky enough to win!

Received them today, having been notified late last week, and got the set (out of the two) I wanted, so I'm a happy bunny, and everyone who hasn't tried an issue for a measly £1 should give it a go!

Since Portal got cancelled I think I'll look into this for the price.

EDIT: Actually Wamp didn't cancel it. but this magazine still looks good.

Lucky you, well done

Yeah, I got the ghost tints, I'm quite well catered for with regard to pretty much anything else, but I really fancied having a play with these, had almost added to cart on a couple of occasions, but, with a limited gaming budget, the prospect of £35 on paint in one go when there are so many models out there un bought kept putting me off, and I could never decide on which I wanted if I went for a few.

Problem solved!

I can't say it enough, but for one quid, this magazine is a steal for some of the content in it.

As some of you might know, FPM was discontinued after issue 51. However, all issues are available to download for free. Also there is still new content comming to the social media sites, but just not in magazine format anymore.

Hi Everyone,
It with sadness that I have decided to stop producing Figure Painter Magazine and Initiative Magazine. With the growing popularity of other media and people self publishing, coupled with the UK’s economic uncertainty, both magazine have steadily become unviable publications over the last year. So, I have taken the decision to stop them. Our servers will be turned off soon and the magazines will be removed from sale, so if you want them before they disappear, now is the time.

But fear not, we are not disappearing. We are keeping the social media pages going and we’ll continue to share with you the best examples our hobbies has to offer as well as the most up-to-date news from the hobby and we’ll also be publishing some new articles, review and tutorials directly on our social media pages, which have some of the greatest number of followers this hobby has, so more people can read them for free.

I would like to thank everyone who read the magazines while they were being produced, their support kept us going since 2013 and keep an eye out for new projects from the FPM and IM teams coming in the future.

This is an offer simply too good to ignore so share the hell out of this post. All back issues of FPM free to all modellers anywhere in the world! FPM made friends all over the world and we feel its the least we can do to try and encourage our friends to stay at home and to relieve some of the boredom if you are in lockdown. We are a universal family who speak a language few outside of our hobby understand but what draws us together is a shared passion and a lot of care for our community.
